Product description

Animal magic from a master storyteller. Cheeky laughter with all creatures great and small. No childhood is complete without the joy of a book or two (or lots more) by Dick King-Smith, who died in 2011. Seriously: this man understood animals so well we think he secretly knew how to talk to them. In these books, there’s a magic 50p coin that grants wishes – like, all the pets you could ever dream of! There’s a brave hedgehog on a mission, and a piglet who dreams of herding sheep. These tales will charm you, surprise you and teach you all about the joy of reading. And the joy of animals!

  • Classic animal stories by a beloved master writer
  • Ideal short novels for newly independent readers
  • The Sheep-Pig was the basis for the hit film Babe
  • Full of charm, wisdom and life lessons to learn
  • Dick King-Smith was a farmer who turned author

Dick King-Smith was born and raised in Gloucestershire, surrounded by pet animals. After twenty years as a farmer, he turned to teaching and then to writing children’s books. Dick’s love of animals and farmyard life shines through in his stories. His gentle, accessible stories are ideal for young readers, blending humour and fantasy with useful lessons about life and the world.

Among his best-loved books is Babe, The Sheep Pig, which became a major film and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Dick died in January 2011, aged 88.
